I took holidays from work last week and so had a rare Sunday off. DD3 ( Auntie H) generally comes over to help DD1 one day of the weekend, this gives DD1 a break and lets DD3 have fun with the children. So as I was off we went the park together, taking the four older children and one of their friends (S) with us.
I always love sibling groups as to how well the older ones automatically take some responsibility towards the younger ones and play well with them when out and about.
Whilst Auntie H and S were playing rough and ready with Bob and Minky a lot of the time Fifi and Dinky were off doing their own thing. Sometimes the boys can get a bit boisterous for Dinky. Other times the twins did their own thing and the older ones got to do what they wanted.

We had over an hour of fun before we decided we were just too chilly in the cold wind that we had.
Love the video on here, just because it shows how the older children interact to amuse the younger two.
It's amazing how things change when yu get a sibling group together. It looks like they all get on really well and have so much time for one another. I bet the younger ones just loved having the time and attention of the older ones. It looks such a happy afternoon for everyone.
It looks like they all had a lot of fun. How lovely when the older children help the little ones out and look after them. My eldest two are, mostly, good with their young brother.
You can't beat a day out at the park, it is a lifesaver X #countrykids
